Add Discord Channel

To integrate a Discord bot with a Node.js assistant, you apply a packaged code change via the skills engine that adds a Discord channel implementation. This captures inbound messages and sends outbound responses using discord.js.

Before connecting a Discord bot, you need to install discord.js, set the DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN in your environment, and sync that token to the container. This ensures secure, containerized integration for channel registration.

Yes, a Discord bot integration handles both server channels and direct messages. It translates @mentions to assistant triggers, processes attachments with placeholders, preserves reply context, and splits long responses automatically.

The best way to register a Discord channel is to run the integration skill, follow the interactive prompts to apply code changes, and supply the target channel ID. This designates the channel as the assistant's main or trigger-only channel.

Validating tests and build before restarting your service ensures the newly applied Discord integration code and unit tests are stable. This deterministic application prevents runtime errors when the assistant starts handling live chat metadata.

Yes, the Discord integration package supports preserving reply context and splitting long responses. It robustly handles message processing by exposing chat metadata for discovery and managing attachments with placeholders.
